Enantioselective tandem alkylation/arylation of primary phosphines with 1-bromo-8-chloromethylnaphthalene catalyzed by Pt(DuPhos) complexes gave P-stereogenic 1-phosphaacenaphthenes (AcePhos) in up to 74% ee. Diastereoselective formation of four P-C bonds in one pot with bis(primary) phosphines gave C2-symmetric diphosphines, including the o-phenylene derivative DuAcePhos, for which the rac isomer was formed with high enantioselectivity. These reactions, which appear to proceed via an unusual metal-mediated nucleophilic aromatic substitution pathway, yield a new class of heterocycles with potential applications in asymmetric catalysis.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Isoindolinone by Sequential Palladium-Catalyzed Aza-Heck/Suzuki Coupling Reaction.
Org Lett

School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, Jiangsu 225002, China.
We present a tandem aza-Heck/Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of -phenyl hydroxamic ethers with readily available arylboronic and alkenyl boronic acids. This protocol is enabled by a palladium catalyst paired with chiral phosphoramidite ligands, particularly under mild reaction conditions, yielding efficient and succinct synthetic routes to chiral isoindolinones with high enantioselectivity. Furthermore, this reaction exhibits excellent functional group compatibility and a rich diversity of subsequent transformations.

An asymmetric tandem esterification/Michael addition reaction of β-keto acylpyrazoles with -hydroxychalcones has been established under the catalysis of a bifunctional squaramide-tertiary amine. A wide variety of biorelevant 3,4-dihydrocoumarin derivatives were generally obtained in high yields (up to 93%) with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (>19:1 dr, up to 93% ee) under mild reaction conditions. This reaction represents the successful application of β-keto acylpyrazoles as 2C building blocks in catalytic asymmetric cyclizations.

R. China.
Article Synopsis
- Chiral fenpropathrin is a common pyrethroid insecticide, and a quick SFC-MS/MS method was created to study its enantioselectivity in five vegetable types.
- The enantioseparation took just 2 minutes, showing good recovery rates and low variability.
- The insecticide dissipated fastest in cucumbers and slowest in celery cabbage, with some final residues exceeding EU limits but remaining under China’s, while overall dietary risks for all ages were found to be acceptable.
Asymmetric Formal [5 + 2] Annulation of 3-Hydroxyquinolinones and Vinylethylene Carbonates through Pd/Cu Tandem Catalysis.

School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Chongqing Key Laboratory of Natural Drug Research, Chongqing University, Chongqing 401331, People's Republic of China.
The asymmetric [5 + 2] cycloaddition of VECs remains to be comparatively rare. Herein, we reported an enantioselective formal [5 + 2] annulation of 3-hydroxyquinolinones and vinylethylene carbonates (VECs) through Pd- and Cu-catalyzed tandem allylation/asymmetric [1,3]-rearrangement/hemiketalization sequences. The strategy exhibits good substrate tolerance, affording a wide range of tricyclic quinolinones bearing two adjacent quaternary stereocenters in moderate to good yields with excellent enantioselectivities.
